Yes, you can be taught. Glad you took some time to understand Daniel's posts. It is a little sad that it took more than one to get the point across, so maybe those that posted replies to Daniel served a good purpose. (there is no image without contrast.)

Daniel happens to be just a more frequent reader (and thsu poster) to these groups. In this regard he speaks the opinion of many regular readers of this group. And it's less a feeling of uncomfortableness as it is annoyance.

but if you learned the correct place to post in the future, then you should not feel regret.

Close, but no cigar. As Daniel mentioned that should be c.d.o.marketplace, according to charter and culture/custom. Again reading the group, especially in an archive like google BEFORE posting would prove beneficial for all.

Agreed, it was really just OFF topic. But Daniel has warned folks what he would do. So the SPAM label was not unexpected by regular readers.
